By top-level, I meant the `obj' directory, i.e. (ascii art time):
.../src/
newlib/
winsup/
cygwin/
utils/
.../obj/
i686-pc-cygwin/
newlib/
winsup/
cygwin/
utils/
That is, if you compile in the .../obj/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin
directory (or in the .../obj/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup directory, as you point
out), you get the .d files created; but if you compile from the obj
directory itself (i.e. to build newlib as well as cygwin), you don't get any
.d files (in the cygwin directory).
I assume (but I've assumed too much recently to be confident about anything
anymore) that this is because the top-level (.../obj) Makefile defines
CFLAGS (without including -MMD) and this interferes with the definition in
.../obj/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin/Makefile. But I'm not awake enough
right now to figure out recursive makefile issues.
(The makefile in the bzip2 directory doesn't suffer this problem by the
way.)
Really strangely, the -fbuiltin from the CFLAGS gets picked up but not
the -MMD from the same CFLAGS+=... statement in .../cygwin/Makefile. I'm
totally confused is all I can say.
I've attached the result of running make in the .../obj directory with just
a single .o file removed in the .../obj/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin
directory. The build command includes -fbuiltin but not -MMD. What gives?
I think it's time for bed is presumably what gives.
